(There are lots of ne'er-do-wells in Rachman's novel, making one wonder: Is this so very common among newspaper folk?) Kathleen is looking to rekindle an old romance with an Italian, now married and a government press flack: "Here he is, temples graying, eyes bagged, slightly handsome but slightly jowly, wearing the sleepy surrender of the family man".
Sure, it was fun, but spending that much money on a paper bag felt slightly crass.
Once you've got the walk you've got her: the grip on the bag, the slightly turned-in feet".
But no real mockery is intended by this harmless, mindless grab bag of slightly used gags, which lampoons some of the conventions of recent comic-book epics and adds the expected staples of juvenile humor: urine, vomit and intestinal gas.
We are shown a fake-looking severed head sealed in a plastic bag, a slightly bluish corpse lying on a bed, a blood-spattered kitchen floor (after the murder victim has been dismembered and his parts have been stuffed into a garbage bag) and a scene of Dahmer about to reach into the torso of a corpse.
With a beautiful, hand-crafted leather exterior, the Attache laptop bag feels slightly Old-World.
My only other complaint was that the bag is slightly hot to wear.
This little bag of slightly fermented apples was just right to impart both flavor and therapy to a carafe of green juice.
TAIL At first I thought the butchers had fucked the order and given me short ribs, but then I noticed that each piece I pulled out of the bag was slightly smaller than the one before, until finally I got to a little tampon-size tube of flesh around a tiny bone and went, "Oh, tail".
If taking out the trash involves concrete, try to lift the bag up slightly, all bags will tear.
